Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 486 The Xie family’s fire
"The junior has seen the senior!"

When the formation in the cabin dispersed, Zhao Shuang and Zhao Shuang quickly stood up and bowed.

"The Tyrant Sword Alliance is chasing after them, and Master Jindan personally takes action..."

"And now, as far as Chu knows, there are countless monks in the entire Bazhou, including the Ba Dao Alliance, who are looking for you two sisters all over the world."

Having said this, Chu Mu paused for a moment, looked at the two sisters Zhao Shuang with deep meaning, and said in a calm voice, but with a bit of domineering tone that could not be refused:
"Can you tell me Chu, what exactly did you do to cause such a big fuss?"

After saying this, Zhao Shuang's expression changed slightly, but she seemed to have been mentally prepared. She thought for a moment before slowly bowing to Chu Mu: "To be honest with you, senior, my Taoist companion, there has been some trouble in Bazhou recently. It’s quite a turmoil, so there’s such a big movement…”

Chu Mu raised his brows, as if he was surprised, but soon, the surprise disappeared without a trace. He raised his hand, and a gleam of bright gold hung in the palm of his hand. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold, the size of a fist, was like the most beautiful thing in the world. exist.

Chu Mu looked at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold for a while, and then looked at Zhao Shuang: "Is this Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold made by your Taoist companion?"

"This junior arrived in Hanhai for the first time. Although I have heard of your reputation, senior, I am not sure whether it is your true identity, senior. Otherwise, there would not have been such a big commotion."

Zhao Shuang's face showed bitterness, and he didn't know whether it was sincerity or flattery.

"Hahaha……"

Chu Mu smiled heartily: "The benefits are tempting, but Chu, at least, has some bottom line, so he won't be as shameless as the Tyrant Sword Alliance."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang was stunned for a moment, and the worry in his brows seemed to dissipate a lot.

She hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to ask: "Senior, are you also looking for this junior's Taoist companion?"

"It's not like searching specifically."

Chu Mu shook his head and suddenly changed the subject: "Does your Taoist companion still have a treasure of this Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold?"

"If there is any, you can exchange it with Chu."

"Fair trade, fair trade, fair trade. What do you think of Miss Zhao?"

"This……"

Zhao Shuang hesitated.

Chu Mu was still smiling, with no change in his expression.

Although the specific cause of the matter is not yet known, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Shuang does not have many choices in front of him.

He, an old friend, should be her last hope and best choice at the moment.

Zhao Shuang gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest with you senior, the last piece of Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold has been taken away by the Bazhou Alliance."

Chu Mu's smile faded: "That Taoist companion of yours is a Da Chu monk?"

Zhao Shuang was slightly startled and remained silent for a while before speaking slowly: "The younger Taoist monk is the true heir of the Xie family."

Chu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Donghu Xie's family?"

"Correct."

Zhao Shuang nodded with a sad look on his face: "Junior and Xie Lang met in Jingmen. The senior Yuanying who was beheaded by the Changsheng Sect during the great upheaval in Jingmen was Xie Lang's grandfather."

"Later, Jingmen fell and the Xie family retreated..."

Zhao Shuang slowly told, and an unknown secret slowly emerged.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shuang stopped talking.

For Chu Mu, a clear sequence of events was revealed before his eyes.

According to Zhao Shuang, her Taoist companion was named Xie Yu, and his biological father was the famous Han Cang Zhenren of the Xie family. The father of Han Cang Zhenren was one of the several Nascent Souls killed by Xu Lingtian in Jingmen. one.

After the dramatic changes in Jingmen, the Xie family retreated and relied on the banner of the Righteous Alliance to survive.

However, with the aggressiveness of the Changsheng Sect, although the Xie family barely maintained its independent status, it was obviously inevitable that it would naturally rely more and more on the banner of the Righteous Alliance, or in other words, rely more and more on the political forces entrenched in the three northeastern states. Changping Zhao family.

The equal status of the Xie family and the Zhao family clearly no longer exists under this kind of reliance.

If the weak relies on the strong, the weak will inevitably be driven by the strong. It is obviously impossible for the weak to maintain complete independence.

Although under the intimidation of the Changsheng Sect, it is impossible for the Changping Zhao family to do something like destroying the Great Wall by directly annexing the Xie family.

But with the Xie family losing its former status and relying on the banner of the Righteous Alliance, the Zhao family obviously has countless ways to cannibalize the Xie family in East Lake bit by bit.

Over the years, although the Xie family has tried hard to maintain its independent status, it has obviously achieved little success.

Especially with the turmoil in the vast sea in recent years, the massive attack by the Changsheng Sect, and the death of the last remaining Nascent Soul of the Xie family...

The glory of the Xie family in East Lake has undoubtedly been completely shattered.

The Xie family, the once aloof chess player, inevitably turned into cannon fodder in the war.

Just as the world of immortality has been passed down for countless generations, the Xie family, which has left countless traces in the history of the world of immortality, is naturally not willing to be destroyed.

During the war, talented clan members led by Xie family members were sent away one after another to the north and south, leaving the Xie family with the last and almost illusory hope.

And Zhao Shuang's Taoist companion, the grandson of the Xie family's Yuanying, was naturally among them.

Many years ago, under the leadership of a Xie family Jindan, hundreds of talented Xie family members set out from Changping, preparing to go to the vast sea of ​​immortality to remain anonymous and leave a fire for the Xie family.But for some reason, the news about this fire team was leaked out, and the Changsheng Sect intercepted them halfway. A team with only one golden elixir naturally couldn't stop the Changsheng Sect's interception.

The Xie family golden elixir fell on the spot, and the rest of the Xie family monks also died or fled.

The Zhao Shuang sisters and their Taoist companions were lucky enough to escape from this disaster. After reaching the vast sea, they stayed in Chixia in order to join other Xie family monks who might have survived.

However, they have been waiting for several years and no other Xie family monks have appeared, so they can only find their own way out.

After exchanging a sum of resources in Zhenjie Pavilion, a few people wandered around the vast sea of ​​​​immortal cultivation world like frightened birds.

And under the influence of the resources from Zhenjie Pavilion, the Xie family monk, with his qualifications of earth spirit root, naturally broke through to the foundation building realm smoothly.

Then, there was the trip to Bazhou, and there was such a big movement as now.

"Isn't Miss Zhao not clear about the principle that interests move people's hearts?"

"What exactly is the benefit that makes you willing to take such a big risk to take out that piece of Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold?"

When Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Chu Mu only muttered for a few breaths, then asked another question, and said it quietly.

At this time, Zhao Shuang seemed to have calmed down. She was silent for a while and bowed to Chu Mu: "Senior, please forgive me. This is my husband's secret. I can't make the decision."

With these words, the originally relaxed atmosphere seemed to solidify in an instant.

Chu Mu's expression was as calm as water, without any fluctuation in his expression, and he just stared at Zhao Shuang quietly.

"I also ask for your forgiveness, senior. When I see my husband, I will definitely discuss it with him and then report to my senior."

Zhao Shuang bit the bullet and spoke out again.

Zhao Yu stood aside, seemingly at a loss.

"It seems...Miss Zhao and your husband have a deep relationship..."

In the end, Chu Mu suddenly smiled and looked at Zhao Shuang with a strange look.

Zhao Shuang must have been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for a long time. With the Foundation Establishment Realm, he became a Taoist couple with a Qi Training Realm monk. In the beginning, it was possible that it was because of Xie Yu's identity.

After arriving in the vast sea, Xie Yu was a small qi-training monk, but he still carried the secrets of the Xie family, but Zhao Shuang was still by his side. When faced with the tyrant sword, he was able to chase and kill him, and he even did not hesitate to die for him when he was desperate...

This kind of friendship is really rare in this world of immortality.

As for Zhao Shuang's words, it was obviously not just a simple refusal, but the underlying meaning was very clear.

It's not enough to keep their sisters safe and sound, she also has to make sure her husband is safe and sound before she can tell the real secret.

Chu Mu was quite interested in this secret.

The Xie family in East Lake is a behemoth that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

Even though it has almost disappeared, it is only the power of the Xie family that has disappeared.

The resources accumulated over tens of thousands of years of inheritance are obviously impossible to dissipate into thin air.

A fire team like Xie Yu must carry part of the Xie family's heritage, and only in this way can they have the possibility of making a comeback.

Judging from the two Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold, Zhao Shuang, the husband, probably has a lot of secrets.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Mu asked aloud: "Where is Ms. Zhao's husband now?"

Zhao Shuang was silent for a while, then looked at Chu Mu. While looking at each other, Zhao Shuang mustered up the courage and said:
"Junior...can you trust senior?"

Chu Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily: "Although Mr. Chu is not a gentleman, he will not degenerate to the point of plundering."

"Besides, in the name of Chu, there is no need to take anything by force!"

Zhao Shuang was silent and glanced at Chu Mu with a complicated expression. Then, a voice transmission slowly sounded in Chu Mu's ears.

"Row."

Chu Mu nodded, then raised his hand and dispersed the cabin array: "Chu's flying boat has a special structure. As long as you sisters don't get out of this flying boat, you and the others will be safe."

"You will stay on this flying boat for a few days, and we will make arrangements after we find Miss Zhao your husband."

"Junior obeys."

Zhao Shuang bowed respectfully and led the timid Zhao Yu into the cabin and into the retreat room on one side.

Chu Mu raised his hand and a projection light screen appeared. The detailed terrain of Bazhou was also displayed on the projection.

He stared at the projection, scanned it around, and tapped his fingertips. A spot of light appeared among the mountains and ravines.

Echoing the light points representing the place where the flying boat is located, the two points and one line are about thousands of miles apart.

Chu Mu's eyes moved and finally settled on Bazhou City in the center of the projected map. He thought about it for a moment and found out that in terms of time, as long as there were no accidents along the way, there should be plenty of time.

He pondered for a moment, and as soon as he thought about it, the airship that was originally flying aimlessly in the air suddenly changed its direction and flew towards the target place set on the projection light screen.
